Can I ask a related question? Is there a physical model available that allows for immortality (eternally stable structure) in a cyclic model of the universe only (limited space with finite time between cycles)?
MWI and other parallel universe models seem to allow for suitable ways of replication and escape—but I never found anything related for a cyclic model. There is talk of surviving the Heat death (superconductor based computers) and Big Crunch/Big bang (using suitable black holes, etc..) - but there is one specific problem I haven’t seen addressed: Particle decay.
If everything else works as planned and a future stable structure is created—in a cyclic model—Is there any way to prevent it from catastrophically desintegrating through particle decay (which is bound to happen in enough finite time)?
Hello.
I’ve only been checking this site for a short while and after reading all these interesting thoughts I posted something myself.
I’m interested in objective, rational thoughts about the ultimate reality of our existence (and Existence itself) and coming from a religious family—I also try to rationalize the notions I have about God.
I see that modal realism and Plantingas ontological argument don’t go down well in here and I concur—by themselves they are underwhelmingly weak.
But what if You combine these two views, based one assumption alone—that Existence (whatever exactly it entails) has to be past eternal.
It’s not an irrational belief—it’s even possible by some theories. I posted something in that line (shouldn’t be hard to find—there aren’t many posts about God here) and I would very much appreciate any valid comments.
It’s a simple theory, but I would very much appreciate some feedback. I have no idea if I’m talking rubbish or if it does make for a coherent logic.
Thanks in advance.
